Get To Know Me
What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?
I view respect, empathy, and collaboration to be the building blocks of a strong therapeutic relationship.
What impact did the scope and/or focus of your education have on your current work as a therapist?
My background in public health has encouraged me to adopt a holistic, contextual, and preventative approach to mental health care. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the internal and external factors affecting how they feel and behave. I am also committed to promoting overall well-being, including supporting clients in leading a life that they find meaningful.
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to create lasting change that improves their happiness and well-being. While I am here to support my clients, I would like to realize that they are the ones doing the hard work.
